Production
The shooting of the film was done at Palakkad. At that time, Mammootty was working as a lawyer at Manjeri court. According to P. N. Menon, as he described in his autobiography Nirakoottukal, Mammootty has to play the character named Pappachan in the film. The shooting was lagged due to financial problems and production eventually ceased due to conflicts among cast and crew due to the lack of funds.[7]
